When he was a little boy, he often looked up at the night sky and wondered what was out there. He dreamed of becoming an 1 one day. One day, Sam visited a space museum with his parents. There he saw real spacesuits and models of spacecraft. He even got to talk to a retired astronaut. The astronaut told him about his experiences in space, like floating in 2 and looking down at the beautiful blue Earth. Sam was very excited. He asked the astronaut, “What do I need to do to become an astronaut?” The astronaut smiled and said, “First, you need to study hard, especially in science and math. Then, you have to keep 3 and stay healthy. Most importantly, never give up on your 4 .” Sam took the astronaut’s words to heart. Every day, he spent extra time studying science. He also started running and playing sports to keep fit. Even when he faced difficulties in his studies, he 5 thought of giving up. Years later, Sam grew up. He became a top student in college, studying aerospace engineering. Finally, his hard work paid off—he was chosen to be part of a space mission. When he 6 into space, he looked down at the Earth and remembered the astronaut’s words. During his time in space, Sam did many experiments. He also took photos of the stars and sent them back to Earth. When he returned home, he gave a speech to young students, telling them about his journey. He said, “If you have a dream, 7 it. Nothing is impossible if you work hard.” Now, Sam is a famous astronaut. He often visits schools to encourage kids to pursue their dreams. He hopes that more young people will become interested in space 8 and help explore the universe. Sam’s story shows that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their dreams. The sky is not the 9 —it’s just the beginning. And who knows?

B Chen Dong, a 47-year-old Chinese astronaut, got the First-Class Space Merit Medal in Beijing on March 15, 2026. It is the highest honor in China’s space industry. He won the award because of his great work in three space missions (任务) and his contributions to China’s space station. Chen Dong was born in Henan. He joined the army in 1997 and became an astronaut in 2010. He took his first space trip on Shenzhou-11 in 2016. “We must take every task seriously in space,” he said. Space work is full of challenges and really tough. He once felt lonely in space, but he managed to get through all the difficulties. Chen Dong usually works more than 12 hours a day in space. He finishes all scientific experiments and tasks carefully during each mission. On his third flight aboard Shenzhou-20, he spent 204 days in space and set a new record. So far, he has finished three space missions with no mistakes at all. When meeting sudden dangers like space debris (残骸), he keeps calm and leads his team to the rescue spacecraft (救援航天器) safely. He has done seven spacewalks, more than any other Chinese astronaut. Besides, he is the first Chinese astronaut to stay in space for over 400 days. It is a great breakthrough (突破) for our space program. Chen has loved space science since he was a child. He has given many online lessons about space life to students and encouraged them to hold on to their space dreams. Lots of students are inspired by him. He will guide more young people to explore outer space. 4．What does the underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Exciting. B．Relaxing. C．Easy. D．Hard. 5．How long has Chen Dong worked as an astronaut up to now according to the text? A．For about 9 years. B．For about 10 years. C．For about 16 years. D．For about 20 years. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Chen Dong according to the text? A．Hard-working and calm. B．Brave and creative. C．Warm-hearted and kind. D．Patient and honest. 7．What can we learn from the text? A．Chen Dong has done 10 spacewalks in his missions. B．Chen Dong has never talked to students about space life. C．Chen Dong has completed his space missions with some mistakes. D．Chen Dong is the first Chinese astronaut to stay in space for over 400 days. C Since the astronauts stay in space for a longer and longer time, carrying all food to space becomes more and more difficult. So, “space planting” becomes very important. The Shenzhou XI astronauts succeeded in growing lettuce (生菜) in the space station, from sowing to harvest. After that, the “space farmers” have successfully grown wheat, rice. The most recent visitors to China’s space station, the Shenzhou XVII astronauts are now growing lettuce and cherry tomatoes. These “space gardens” not only provide astronauts with food but also more oxygen and water. Now the astronauts want to step out of the space station and find out the possibility of growing plants on the moon. A new study by Chinese scientists has found that bacteria (细菌) in soil from Earth could offer a solution. Researchers from China Agricultural University found out three kinds of bacteria from the Earth soil were good for plant growth. They then grew model plants in the lunar soil with the bacteria in the space station. They found that after six days of growth, the plants had longer stems (茎) and roots than those grown without the bacteria. The plants also had heavier and wider leaves after 24 days of growth. Besides, levels of chlorophyll (叶绿素) in the model plants were much higher than those grown without bacteria. “The study results are very important for future long-term stays on the moon,” the study’s lead researcher, Sun Zhencai said. Bacteria in the Earth soil may help astronauts make better use of lunar resources, such as creating lunar greenhouses. In their following research, they will work closely with astronauts and hope to grow crops like rice, corn and potatoes with real lunar soil samples. 8．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Wheat is the first plant to grow in China’s space station. B．Space gardens provide astronauts with food, light and water. C．Chinese astronauts have made some progress in space planting. D．Chinese astronauts have grown some plants on the moon successfully. 9．What could make it possible to grow plants on the moon? A．Bacteria from the Earth soil. B．Bacteria from the lunar soil. C．Earth soil. D．Lunar soil. 10．Paragraph 4 tells us lunar soil with the bacteria can _________. A．make the plants’ stems shorter B．make the plants grow better C．make the plants’ leaves lighter D．make levels of chlorophyll lower 11．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)? A．Researchers. B．Astronauts. C．Visitors. D．Farmers. D Can you believe it? A group of high school students has successfully built and launched a real rocket—not just a toy, but one that flew over 10,000 metres into the sky! Let’s meet Wang Yuning, the young leader who made this dream come true. Wang Yuning liked to watch space programmes on TV when he was little. He became interested in space and even made small rocket models with paper tubes (纸筒). Later, he read many books on space and did small experiments on rockets at home. In high school, he set up a space club and invited teens from other cities to join his team. In June 2024, Wang and his team started to build a real rocket called “Feiyan-1”. They went to a space centre to learn and used their free time to design, test and put together rocket parts. After 11 months of hard work, they finished the rocket and got ready to launch it. On May 27, 2025, they launched the rocket in Qinghai. It flew successfully and reached 10,555.7 metres high. Recently, in February 2026, a space scientist gave a prize to Wang and even hugged him. This young rocket designer showed everyone that teens can also follow their space dreams. 12．What made Wang Yuning first become interested in space? A．Joining a space club. B．Reading books on space. C．Building rocket models. D．Watching space programmes on TV. 13．What did Wang Yuning’s team do at the space centre? A．They launched their rocket. B．They learned to build rockets. C．They watched a rocket launch. D．They met a famous scientist. 14．What do the events of Wang Yuning show us? A．Teens can follow their space dreams. B．Only scientists can make real rockets. C．Space dreams are only for adults and scientists. D．It’s easy for high school students to build rockets. E Recently, a great scientific discovery surprised the world. Chinese scientists found a new method to produce water on the Moon. It could change how we think about living on the Moon in the future! In the past, tasks to the Moon showed that there might be ice at the Moon’s north and south poles (极地). However, there isn’t much water in lunar soil, or only a little, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent. This makes it difficult to find and use water there. So it’s not easy for people to expect to live on the Moon. The researchers, however, found an exciting fact, after studying the rocks and soil from the Moon brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft. It is that lunar soil melts (融化) when it reaches over 1,000℃. When it begins to melt, it produces water. They learned that just 100 g of lunar soil can give us 5.1g to 7.6g of water. That’s enough to give drinking water to 50 people for one day! All in all, this research opens up new chances for finding water on the Moon. It’s important for future trips to the Moon and people. We might live there one day. As we learn more about how to make water from lunar soil, we get closer to the dream of humans living on the Moon. This discovery could help make that dream come true! 15．Why does the writer talk about the past research in Paragraph 2? A．To explain why the new method is not useful. B．To show how hard to get water on the Moon. C．To prove there is ice at the surface of the Moon. D．To tell people the different life on the Moon. 16．How much water may scientists get if they have 1,000g of lunar soil? A． B． C． D． 17．What does the writer think of the dream of living on the Moon? A．Positive. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Disappointed. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F China’s Mars Exploration China’s Mars exploration program has made remarkable progress in recent years, attracting global attention. The exploration of Mars is not only a scientific challenge but also an important step in China’s space exploration journey. The Tianwen-1 mission is a significant milestone in China’s Mars exploration. It consists of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. The orbiter was the first to reach Mars orbit, where it conducted comprehensive observations of the planet. It took high-resolution images of the Martian surface, studied the planet’s atmosphere, and mapped its topography. This data provided valuable information for the subsequent landing mission. The landing of the Zhurong rover on Mars was a major achievement. The rover was carefully designed to withstand the harsh Martian environment, with extreme temperature differences and strong dust storms. Once on the surface, the Zhurong rover began its scientific exploration. It used a variety of scientific instruments to study the Martian soil, rocks, and atmosphere. For example, it searched for signs of water and organic compounds, which are essential for the existence of life. The rover also sent back a large number of images and data, which are being analyzed by scientists around the world. China’s Mars exploration program has not only advanced scientific knowledge but also inspired the next generation. It shows China’s growing strength in space technology and its commitment to exploring the unknown. Through educational programs and public outreach, more people are learning about Mars exploration and becoming interested in science and technology. This, in turn, will encourage more young people to pursue careers in these fields and contribute to future space-exploration endeavors. 18．What are the three components of the Tianwen-1 mission?

It is the highest honor in China’s space industry. He won the award because of his great work in three space missions (任务) and his contributions to China’s space station. Chen Dong was born in Henan. He joined the army in 1997 and became an astronaut in 2010. He took his first space trip on Shenzhou-11 in 2016. “We must take every task seriously in space,” he said. Space work is full of challenges and really tough. He once felt lonely in space, but he managed to get through all the difficulties. Chen Dong usually works more than 12 hours a day in space. He finishes all scientific experiments and tasks carefully during each mission. On his third flight aboard Shenzhou-20, he spent 204 days in space and set a new record. So far, he has finished three space missions with no mistakes at all. When meeting sudden dangers like space debris (残骸), he keeps calm and leads his team to the rescue spacecraft (救援航天器) safely. He has done seven spacewalks, more than any other Chinese astronaut. Besides, he is the first Chinese astronaut to stay in space for over 400 days. It is a great breakthrough (突破) for our space program. Chen has loved space science since he was a child.

So, “space planting” becomes very important. The Shenzhou XI astronauts succeeded in growing lettuce (生菜) in the space station, from sowing to harvest. After that, the “space farmers” have successfully grown wheat, rice. The most recent visitors to China’s space station, the Shenzhou XVII astronauts are now growing lettuce and cherry tomatoes. These “space gardens” not only provide astronauts with food but also more oxygen and water. Now the astronauts want to step out of the space station and find out the possibility of growing plants on the moon. A new study by Chinese scientists has found that bacteria (细菌) in soil from Earth could offer a solution. Researchers from China Agricultural University found out three kinds of bacteria from the Earth soil were good for plant growth. They then grew model plants in the lunar soil with the bacteria in the space station. They found that after six days of growth, the plants had longer stems (茎) and roots than those grown without the bacteria. The plants also had heavier and wider leaves after 24 days of growth. Besides, levels of chlorophyll (叶绿素) in the model plants were much higher than those grown without bacteria. “The study results are very important for future long-term stays on the moon,” the study’s lead researcher, Sun Zhencai said. Bacteria in the Earth soil may help astronauts make better use of lunar resources, such as creating lunar greenhouses. In their following research, they will work closely with astronauts and hope to grow crops like rice, corn and potatoes with real lunar soil samples. 8．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Wheat is the first plant to grow in China’s space station. B．Space gardens provide astronauts with food, light and water. C．Chinese astronauts have made some progress in space planting. D．Chinese astronauts have grown some plants on the moon successfully. 9．What could make it possible to grow plants on the moon? A．Bacteria from the Earth soil. B．Bacteria from the lunar soil. C．Earth soil. D．Lunar soil. 10．Paragraph 4 tells us lunar soil with the bacteria can _________. A．make the plants’ stems shorter B．make the plants grow better C．make the plants’ leaves lighter D．make levels of chlorophyll lower 11．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)? A．Researchers. B．Astronauts. C．Visitors. D．Farmers. 【答案】8．C 9．A 10．B 11．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国航天员在空间站成功种植多种植物的进展，以及科学家发现地球土壤中的细菌有助于植物在月球土壤中生长的研究成果和未来计划。 【详解】 8．根据文章第1段“The Shenzhou XI astronauts succeeded in growing lettuce in the space station, from sowing to harvest. After that, the “space farmers” have successfully grown wheat, rice.”，可推知中国航天员在太空种植方面取得了一些进展。 9．根据文章第3段“A new study by Chinese scientists has found that bacteria in soil from Earth could offer a solution.”，可推知来自地球土壤的细菌使在月球上种植植物成为可能。 10．根据文章第4段“They found that after six days of growth, the plants had longer stems and roots than those grown without the bacteria. The plants also had heavier and wider leaves...”，可推知含有细菌的月球土壤能让植物生长得更好。 11．根据文章第5段“The study’s lead researcher, Sun Zhencai said. ... In their following research, they will work closely with astronauts...”，可推知they指的是进行研究的研究人员。 D Can you believe it? A group of high school students has successfully built and launched a real rocket—not just a toy, but one that flew over 10,000 metres into the sky! Let’s meet Wang Yuning, the young leader who made this dream come true. Wang Yuning liked to watch space programmes on TV when he was little. He became interested in space and even made small rocket models with paper tubes (纸筒). Later, he read many books on space and did small experiments on rockets at home. In high school, he set up a space club and invited teens from other cities to join his team. In June 2024, Wang and his team started to build a real rocket called “Feiyan-1”. They went to a space centre to learn and used their free time to design, test and put together rocket parts. After 11 months of hard work, they finished the rocket and got ready to launch it. On May 27, 2025, they launched the rocket in Qinghai. It flew successfully and reached 10,555.7 metres high. Recently, in February 2026, a space scientist gave a prize to Wang and even hugged him. This young rocket designer showed everyone that teens can also follow their space dreams. 12．What made Wang Yuning first become interested in space? A．Joining a space club. B．Reading books on space.

Chinese scientists found a new method to produce water on the Moon. It could change how we think about living on the Moon in the future! In the past, tasks to the Moon showed that there might be ice at the Moon’s north and south poles (极地). However, there isn’t much water in lunar soil, or only a little, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent. This makes it difficult to find and use water there. So it’s not easy for people to expect to live on the Moon. The researchers, however, found an exciting fact, after studying the rocks and soil from the Moon brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft. It is that lunar soil melts (融化) when it reaches over 1,000℃. When it begins to melt, it produces water. They learned that just 100 g of lunar soil can give us 5.1g to 7.6g of water. That’s enough to give drinking water to 50 people for one day! All in all, this research opens up new chances for finding water on the Moon. It’s important for future trips to the Moon and people. We might live there one day. As we learn more about how to make water from lunar soil, we get closer to the dream of humans living on the Moon. This discovery could help make that dream come true! 15．Why does the writer talk about the past research in Paragraph 2? A．To explain why the new method is not useful. B．To show how hard to get water on the Moon. C．To prove there is ice at the surface of the Moon. D．To tell people the different life on the Moon. 16．How much water may scientists get if they have 1,000g of lunar soil? A． B． C． D． 17．What does the writer think of the dream of living on the Moon? A．Positive. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Disappointed. 【答案】15．B 16．B 17．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国科学家找到一种在月球上制取水的新方法，介绍过去月球取水的困境、月壤高温制水的原理与产水量，还阐述该发现对人类未来登月、定居月球的重要意义。 【详解】 15．第二段说明背景原因：“However, there isn’t much water in lunar soil, or only a little, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent. This makes it difficult to find and use water there.”，以此体现从前在月球获取水资源十分艰难，为下文新方法做铺垫。 16．第三段给出数据：“just 100 g of lunar soil can give us 5.1 g to 7.6 g of water”，通过倍数推算可知1000 g月壤可产出51 g至76 g水，对应水量刻度匹配选项图示。 17．最后一段表明作者态度：“This discovery could help make that dream come true!”，能看出作者对于人类定居月球的梦想持积极、乐观的看法。 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F China’s Mars Exploration China’s Mars exploration program has made remarkable progress in recent years, attracting global attention. The exploration of Mars is not only a scientific challenge but also an important step in China’s space exploration journey. The Tianwen-1 mission is a significant milestone in China’s Mars exploration. It consists of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. The orbiter was the first to reach Mars orbit, where it conducted comprehensive observations of the planet. It took high-resolution images of the Martian surface, studied the planet’s atmosphere, and mapped its topography. This data provided valuable information for the subsequent landing mission. The landing of the Zhurong rover on Mars was a major achievement. The rover was carefully designed to withstand the harsh Martian environment, with extreme temperature differences and strong dust storms. Once on the surface, the Zhurong rover began its scientific exploration. It used a variety of scientific instruments to study the Martian soil, rocks, and atmosphere. For example, it searched for signs of water and organic compounds, which are essential for the existence of life. The rover also sent back a large number of images and data, which are being analyzed by scientists around the world. China’s Mars exploration program has not only advanced scientific knowledge but also inspired the next generation. It shows China’s growing strength in space technology and its commitment to exploring the unknown.

When he was a little boy, he often looked up at the night sky and wondered what was out there. He dreamed of becoming an 1 one day. One day, Sam visited a space museum with his parents. There he saw real spacesuits and models of spacecraft. He even got to talk to a retired astronaut. The astronaut told him about his experiences in space, like floating in 2 and looking down at the beautiful blue Earth. Sam was very excited. He asked the astronaut, “What do I need to do to become an astronaut?” The astronaut smiled and said, “First, you need to study hard, especially in science and math. Then, you have to keep 3 and stay healthy. Most importantly, never give up on your 4 .” Sam took the astronaut’s words to heart. Every day, he spent extra time studying science. He also started running and playing sports to keep fit. Even when he faced difficulties in his studies, he 5 thought of giving up. Years later, Sam grew up. He became a top student in college, studying aerospace engineering. Finally, his hard work paid off—he was chosen to be part of a space mission. When he 6 into space, he looked down at the Earth and remembered the astronaut’s words. During his time in space, Sam did many experiments. He also took photos of the stars and sent them back to Earth. When he returned home, he gave a speech to young students, telling them about his journey. He said, “If you have a dream, 7 it. Nothing is impossible if you work hard.” Now, Sam is a famous astronaut. He often visits schools to encourage kids to pursue their dreams. He hopes that more young people will become interested in space 8 and help explore the universe. Sam’s story shows that with hard work and determination, anyone can achieve their dreams. The sky is not the 9 —it’s just the beginning. And who knows?

B Chen Dong, a 47-year-old Chinese astronaut, got the First-Class Space Merit Medal in Beijing on March 15, 2026. It is the highest honor in China’s space industry. He won the award because of his great work in three space missions (任务) and his contributions to China’s space station. Chen Dong was born in Henan. He joined the army in 1997 and became an astronaut in 2010. He took his first space trip on Shenzhou-11 in 2016. “We must take every task seriously in space,” he said. Space work is full of challenges and really tough. He once felt lonely in space, but he managed to get through all the difficulties. Chen Dong usually works more than 12 hours a day in space. He finishes all scientific experiments and tasks carefully during each mission. On his third flight aboard Shenzhou-20, he spent 204 days in space and set a new record. So far, he has finished three space missions with no mistakes at all. When meeting sudden dangers like space debris (残骸), he keeps calm and leads his team to the rescue spacecraft (救援航天器) safely. He has done seven spacewalks, more than any other Chinese astronaut. Besides, he is the first Chinese astronaut to stay in space for over 400 days. It is a great breakthrough (突破) for our space program. Chen has loved space science since he was a child. He has given many online lessons about space life to students and encouraged them to hold on to their space dreams. Lots of students are inspired by him. He will guide more young people to explore outer space. 4．What does the underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Exciting. B．Relaxing. C．Easy. D．Hard. 5．How long has Chen Dong worked as an astronaut up to now according to the text? A．For about 9 years. B．For about 10 years. C．For about 16 years. D．For about 20 years. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Chen Dong according to the text? A．Hard-working and calm. B．Brave and creative. C．Warm-hearted and kind. D．Patient and honest. 7．What can we learn from the text? A．Chen Dong has done 10 spacewalks in his missions. B．Chen Dong has never talked to students about space life. C．Chen Dong has completed his space missions with some mistakes. D．Chen Dong is the first Chinese astronaut to stay in space for over 400 days. C Since the astronauts stay in space for a longer and longer time, carrying all food to space becomes more and more difficult. So, “space planting” becomes very important. The Shenzhou XI astronauts succeeded in growing lettuce (生菜) in the space station, from sowing to harvest. After that, the “space farmers” have successfully grown wheat, rice. The most recent visitors to China’s space station, the Shenzhou XVII astronauts are now growing lettuce and cherry tomatoes. These “space gardens” not only provide astronauts with food but also more oxygen and water. Now the astronauts want to step out of the space station and find out the possibility of growing plants on the moon. A new study by Chinese scientists has found that bacteria (细菌) in soil from Earth could offer a solution. Researchers from China Agricultural University found out three kinds of bacteria from the Earth soil were good for plant growth. They then grew model plants in the lunar soil with the bacteria in the space station. They found that after six days of growth, the plants had longer stems (茎) and roots than those grown without the bacteria. The plants also had heavier and wider leaves after 24 days of growth. Besides, levels of chlorophyll (叶绿素) in the model plants were much higher than those grown without bacteria. “The study results are very important for future long-term stays on the moon,” the study’s lead researcher, Sun Zhencai said. Bacteria in the Earth soil may help astronauts make better use of lunar resources, such as creating lunar greenhouses. In their following research, they will work closely with astronauts and hope to grow crops like rice, corn and potatoes with real lunar soil samples. 8．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Wheat is the first plant to grow in China’s space station. B．Space gardens provide astronauts with food, light and water. C．Chinese astronauts have made some progress in space planting. D．Chinese astronauts have grown some plants on the moon successfully. 9．What could make it possible to grow plants on the moon? A．Bacteria from the Earth soil. B．Bacteria from the lunar soil. C．Earth soil. D．Lunar soil. 10．Paragraph 4 tells us lunar soil with the bacteria can _________. A．make the plants’ stems shorter B．make the plants grow better C．make the plants’ leaves lighter D．make levels of chlorophyll lower 11．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)? A．Researchers. B．Astronauts. C．Visitors. D．Farmers. D Can you believe it? A group of high school students has successfully built and launched a real rocket—not just a toy, but one that flew over 10,000 metres into the sky! Let’s meet Wang Yuning, the young leader who made this dream come true. Wang Yuning liked to watch space programmes on TV when he was little. He became interested in space and even made small rocket models with paper tubes (纸筒). Later, he read many books on space and did small experiments on rockets at home. In high school, he set up a space club and invited teens from other cities to join his team. In June 2024, Wang and his team started to build a real rocket called “Feiyan-1”. They went to a space centre to learn and used their free time to design, test and put together rocket parts. After 11 months of hard work, they finished the rocket and got ready to launch it. On May 27, 2025, they launched the rocket in Qinghai. It flew successfully and reached 10,555.7 metres high. Recently, in February 2026, a space scientist gave a prize to Wang and even hugged him. This young rocket designer showed everyone that teens can also follow their space dreams. 12．What made Wang Yuning first become interested in space? A．Joining a space club. B．Reading books on space. C．Building rocket models. D．Watching space programmes on TV. 13．What did Wang Yuning’s team do at the space centre? A．They launched their rocket. B．They learned to build rockets. C．They watched a rocket launch. D．They met a famous scientist. 14．What do the events of Wang Yuning show us? A．Teens can follow their space dreams. B．Only scientists can make real rockets. C．Space dreams are only for adults and scientists. D．It’s easy for high school students to build rockets. E Recently, a great scientific discovery surprised the world. Chinese scientists found a new method to produce water on the Moon. It could change how we think about living on the Moon in the future! In the past, tasks to the Moon showed that there might be ice at the Moon’s north and south poles (极地). However, there isn’t much water in lunar soil, or only a little, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent. This makes it difficult to find and use water there. So it’s not easy for people to expect to live on the Moon. The researchers, however, found an exciting fact, after studying the rocks and soil from the Moon brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft. It is that lunar soil melts (融化) when it reaches over 1,000℃. When it begins to melt, it produces water. They learned that just 100 g of lunar soil can give us 5.1g to 7.6g of water. That’s enough to give drinking water to 50 people for one day! All in all, this research opens up new chances for finding water on the Moon. It’s important for future trips to the Moon and people. We might live there one day. As we learn more about how to make water from lunar soil, we get closer to the dream of humans living on the Moon. This discovery could help make that dream come true! 15．Why does the writer talk about the past research in Paragraph 2? A．To explain why the new method is not useful. B．To show how hard to get water on the Moon. C．To prove there is ice at the surface of the Moon. D．To tell people the different life on the Moon. 16．How much water may scientists get if they have 1,000g of lunar soil? A． B． C． D． 17．What does the writer think of the dream of living on the Moon? A．Positive. B．Worried. C．Surprised. D．Disappointed. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F China’s Mars Exploration China’s Mars exploration program has made remarkable progress in recent years, attracting global attention. The exploration of Mars is not only a scientific challenge but also an important step in China’s space exploration journey. The Tianwen-1 mission is a significant milestone in China’s Mars exploration. It consists of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. The orbiter was the first to reach Mars orbit, where it conducted comprehensive observations of the planet. It took high-resolution images of the Martian surface, studied the planet’s atmosphere, and mapped its topography. This data provided valuable information for the subsequent landing mission. The landing of the Zhurong rover on Mars was a major achievement. The rover was carefully designed to withstand the harsh Martian environment, with extreme temperature differences and strong dust storms. Once on the surface, the Zhurong rover began its scientific exploration. It used a variety of scientific instruments to study the Martian soil, rocks, and atmosphere. For example, it searched for signs of water and organic compounds, which are essential for the existence of life. The rover also sent back a large number of images and data, which are being analyzed by scientists around the world. China’s Mars exploration program has not only advanced scientific knowledge but also inspired the next generation. It shows China’s growing strength in space technology and its commitment to exploring the unknown. Through educational programs and public outreach, more people are learning about Mars exploration and becoming interested in science and technology. This, in turn, will encourage more young people to pursue careers in these fields and contribute to future space-exploration endeavors. 18．What are the three components of the Tianwen-1 mission?
